We all have an umbrella or two lying around the house, but they aren't always good. Our friends at The Wirecutter took a look and decided that the ShedRain WindJammer is the perfect balance between something that's compact and easy to carry, yet big enough to actually keep you dry.

In fact, many of the umbrellas you can buy in stores (like the Gap) are actually branded WindJammers, so you may have one already—but if not, this is the umbrella to buy. It's only about 12 inches long when folded up, but expands to provide a very large umbrella when opened, keeping you (and your gadget bag) dry. Not only that, but it's solidly built, and won't break after only a few uses. It'll run you about $32 on Amazon, but that's a small price to pay for staying dry.
